Presentation Description

nuclear cardiology has high potential role in planning of treatment of Coronary artery disease. recent advances in SPECT and PET have evolved and found highly informative in both early diagnosis , taking of proper decision of mode of treartment and followup of CAD cases.

CARDIAC DISEASE DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES:

CARDIAC DISEASE DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES ECG , ECHO CT MRI ANGIO SPECT PET PET-CT

What u r looking for?:

What u r looking for? Anatomy ? Function ? 1.Perfusion 2.metabolism Despite an excellent negative predictive value, CTA is a poor discriminator of patients with myocardial ischemia. Conversely, a normal stress SPECT / PET study is a poor discriminator of patients without evidence of non—flow-limiting (subclinical) coronary atherosclerosis. These results suggest potentially complementary roles of CT and perfusion imaging in the evaluation of patients with suspected CAD.

SPECT:

SPECT SHORT AXIS ,VERTICAL & HORIZONTAL LONG AXIS ORIENTATION

Spect radiotracers:

Spect radiotracers tracer half life injections dose Tc99m sestamibi / tetrofosmin 6 hrs two 8 to 10 mci at first study 20 to 30 mci at second study Tl 201 73 hrs single 4 to 6 mci Protocols Stress & rest study done in the same day or separately two days Only rest study

PET CORONARY FLOW RESERVE (cfr):

PET CORONARY FLOW RESERVE ( cfr ) absolute myocardial flow in milliliters per minute per gram, and coronary flow reserve open profound new windows into the heart with awaiting discoveries and clinical applications. Quantitative PET perfusion images show the entire range of absolute flows and coronary flow reserves of each artery down to small branches with single or multiple stenosis, diffuse disease, and/or myocardial steal indicating collateralization,
